Une dose sans effet ou un niveau sans effet désigne la quantité maximale de produit qui, introduite pendant une longue période (minimum 2 ans) dans la ration alimentaire journalière, ne cause aucune altération, lésion d'organe ou trouble fonctionnel chez l'animal soumis à l'expérience. Cette dose est exprimée en milligrammes de substance par kilogramme d'animal. Pour l'homme, on la divise (D.S.E.) par le coefficient de sécurité 100 et on obtient la valeur de la dose journalière acceptable (DJA). 8, record 4, French, - niveau%20sans%20effet
